Reincarnation: My Possessive Beast Husband

Chapter 54: Chapter 54 A Twinge of Heartache
 

Chu Yuxiao’s eyes flickered slightly, his gaze complex as he looked at her.

He digested her words seriously in his heart, and after a while, he had an answer.

So, the truth was like this…

“You won’t tell me, will you?

If you don’t tell me, I’ll apprehend Aunt Lan right now in my capacity as the Princess!

I will interrogate her slowly, and I don’t believe she won’t confess!”

Chu Yuxiao’s eyes dimmed as he cast them downward.

The murderer, it really was her…

But why, exactly?

“You! You’re infuriating me!”

Su Yan stamped her foot angrily and turned to storm towards Ciyun Hall.

“Stop.” Chu Yuxiao’s indifferent voice came from behind her, and her steps indeed halted.

“I will investigate this matter thoroughly, rest assured, I won’t cover for anyone…”

Su Yan turned around in surprise, looking at him as she spoke,

“Fine, I won’t interfere with you, but you have to tell me, who was Aunt Lan impersonating that day?”

Chu Yuxiao raised his head to look at the sky, a complex, heart-wrenching emotion fleeting across his eyes.

This look, Su Yan had seen it not for the first time.

In fact, it was the third.

Wait a minute…

The second time he had shown this kind of expression was in front of Old Madam’s spiritual tablet.

Could it be that Aunt Lan was impersonating the Old Madam that day…

Wasn’t she very respectful towards the Old Madam and wasn’t their relationship very good?

Why would she kill someone while disguised as the Old Madam?

Su Yan realized that even though she knew whose face it was, she still couldn’t understand Aunt Lan’s motive for the murder.

…………………..

As if by prior agreement, the two returned to Ciyun Hall and went straight to Aunt Lan’s room.

Chu Yuxiao maintained a respectful demeanor, revealing not the slightest flaw.

This nearly made Su Yan believe that he didn’t know at all that the murderer was Aunt Lan.

Seeing that he didn’t expose Aunt Lan, Su Yan thought he must have his own plans and purpose, and so she must not reveal any flaw, lest she ruin his scheme.

The two sat in Aunt Lan’s room for a long time, inquiring about her health and chatting about mundane family matters.

Aunt Lan appeared as kind as a bodhisattva, making it very difficult to associate her with the murderer who had consumed the blood of five young girls.
